Correa glabra (Rock Correa) is a tall shrub which is endemic to Australia.[1] It grows up to 2.7 metres in height. The elliptic leaves are 1 to 4 cm long and 5 to 17 mm wide. Flowers are mainly produced in April and May in the species native range, but may also appear sporadically throughout the year[1]

Taxonomy

The species was first formally described in 1838 by botanist John Lindley in Three Expeditions into the interior of Eastern Australia .[2]

There are three recognised subspecies as follows:

  • Correa glabra Lindl. var. glabra
  • Correa glabra var. leucoclada (Lindl.) Paul G.Wilson
  • Correa glabra var. turnbullii (Ashby) Paul G.Wilson (syn. Correa schlechtendalii Behr)

Cultivation

Correa glabra may be used as a low screening shrub or as a container plant, and will attract birds to a garden. It will grow in a variety of soil types in sunny or partially shaded situations and withstands frost. It can be maintained to a compact shape by pinching back new growth.[3]

A number of cultivars have been recorded by the Australian Cultivar Registration Authority including:

  • Corea glabra var glabra 'Coliban River' - a compact, dense form selected from a wild population near the Coliban River in Kyneton, Victoria. It grows to 1.2 metres in height and width.[4]
  • Correa glabra 'Gold Leaf' [2]
  • Correa glabra var. glabra 'Inglewood Gold' - a form with gold flowers selected a from a wild population near Inglewood, Victoria around 1980. [5]
  • Correa glabra 'Studley Park'
